Inktober Day #2 : ‘Tranquility’
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
There lies his crown in water deep,
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.Couldn’t make my first idea for this work in the time, so here’s a super-quick and wobbly inkpainting.
u know…………….. people……. mean. but a pigeon? fat. small. round. full of dreams. and that? that’s wonderful.
❛…don’t ever talk to me or my Manwë again.❜

Hm. I only draw Manwe getting hugs… but ehh, he deserves all the love
♡~ Anyways, this was supposed to be Ingwe, but he looks too young, so it’s Finarfin now!
Indis visited her family as often as possible and brought her sons along. Everyone was enamored by the elflings, so Finarfin especially had swathes of Vanyar and Ainur cooing over him (and his super fluffy hair) whenever they were near
Taniquetil, Manwe included. This time Finwe managed to break away from his dutys to accompany his wife. He cajoled Feanor into coming with him, and Feanor, basically being a disgrunteled teen back then, complains the whole time how it’s so much better in Tirion, and anyways, Aule is, like, the only Vala who gets them and isn’t aloof– cue to Finarfin, showing off his best death glare. Galadriel has to have this from someone, right?
What a cute HC, I love it so much! ❤ I’m, like, heavily invested in Finarfin and Manwë’s relationship, so THANK YOU for posting this. ❤ Your drawing’s also really nice… They’re such a tender duo, aren’t they? c:
“In Beleriand in those days the Elves walked, and the rivers flowed, and the stars shone, and the night-flowers gave forth their scents; and the beauty of Melian was as the noon, and the beauty of Lúthien was as the dawn in spring. In Beleriand King Thingol upon his throne was as the lords of the Maiar, whose power is at rest, whose joy is as an air that they breathe in all their days, whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps.”
— JRR Tolkien – The Silmarillion, “Of the Sindar”
I just went to a new hairstylist and I made sure to style my hair so she could see its texture and I asked her to cut it dry bc my last stylist didn’t even Know what a diffuser was and always wanted to straighten it
So she gets out a brush which is when I knew I was in trouble and just started at the roots and started ripping through my hair lmao!!!!
When will I ever get to rest
I really shoulda just gotten up and left when she got out the brush but I got too little sleep to advocate for my own scalp
Hair-stylists are so hard to communicate with. They so rarely understand “not straight”. Show ‘em a men’s cropped haircut, they give you a Hilary Clinton bob. Show up with curls and they bring out the brush.
I interview stylists. I state that I have curly hair and then ask a few questions. If I don’t like the answers, I politely decline the service.
Interesting trend I noticed? Curly haired stylists tend to be better at managing the curls. And African American stylists are even better about it.
My hair is more “extremely wavy” than curly, and I wear it long and down, so white hairstylists can usually figure out how to do it—but only after complaining loudly, being visibly distressed, or even berating me for having the kind of hair I do.
I go out of my way to find non-white hairstylists at this point….
I had to go waaaayyy out of my way and pay extra for a hair stylist who was Officially Certified To Cut Curly Hair (apparently it’s called DIVA??? lol) bc no regular ones have been able to fathom what to do w my hair.
guYS i just realized i never in fact announced this — @ivanaskye will be moving into my room in my beloved 14-person student co-op uh, tomorrow??? yeah, tomorrow. we will still talk over text rather than out loud at least 75% as often as we do now, but now we can do it while snuggled together in this freezing drafty old house and while i try not to make too much weird allistic eye contact with her. pls give congrats!

tagging this athrabeth is the cutest thing you’ve ever done
awwwww! ❤ i hope that’s a high bar to reach (^v^)
if you ask Sam to tell you about the quest he went on he’d probably just talk your ear off for half an hour about elves & then if you asked him what he, specifically, did on the quest he’d just be like ‘umm I went on a really long walk and I saw an oliphaunt, anyway back to the elves’
Sam’s sisters, after talking to Merry and Pippin: you fought a giant immortal spider??
Sam: what of it
Sam: anyway let me tell you another thing about elves
